Working with DocBook on FreeBSD nothing but problems

[Rico Secada]

Hi

For some strange reason I no longer can convert my .fo files to .pdf using "fop". 

All I get is this..

$ fop -d mytext.fo mytext.pdf
[DEBUG] Input mode:
[DEBUG] FO
[DEBUG] fo input file: mytext.fo
[DEBUG] Output mode:
[DEBUG] pdf
[DEBUG] output file: mytext.pdf

Then it just freezes. Normally I can convert eventhough the above errors are shown, but now I can't. I can't seem to figure out what it is doing standing there.

Could anyone please shed some light on this issue. I am seriously thinking about not using DocBook anymore and just going back to Open Office. There are so many complications during conversion IMHO.

Best regards
